High-Level Systematics And Phylogeny Of The Extant Scorpions (Scorpiones: Orthosterni), Michael E. Soleglad, Victor Fet Dec 2015

High-Level Systematics And Phylogeny Of The Extant Scorpions (Scorpiones: Orthosterni), Michael E. Soleglad, Victor Fet

Euscorpius

A number of authors (e. g. Birula, 1917a, 1917b; Mello-Leitão, 1945; Stockwell, 1989) addressed above-level systematics of extant scorpions, and accepted the grouping of scorpion families in several superfamilies. At the same time, Kjellesvig-Waering (1986) classified all extant scorpions under the same superfamily, Scorpionoidea. Sissom (1990) and Fet et al. (2000) did not list any superfamilies, considering the systematic situation above family (and often at the family level as well) unresolved. Most recently, Lourenço (2000a) listed six superfamilies, largely following the unpublished but important study of Stockwell (1989). The goal of this paper is to address scorpion systematics and phylogeny …


The Scorpion Sternum: Structure And Phylogeny (Scorpiones: Orthosterni), Michael E. Soleglad, Victor Fet Dec 2015

The Scorpion Sternum: Structure And Phylogeny (Scorpiones: Orthosterni), Michael E. Soleglad, Victor Fet

Euscorpius

The structure of the sternum of all major Recent scorpion groups is analyzed in detail. Based on this analysis, two fundamental sternum types are identified, described and illustrated, type 1 and type 2. These sternum types are distinguished by criteria based on external and internal structural features. The sternum types described herein are offered as a replacement for the various characterizations used throughout the last 140 years which emphasize only gross overall shape and proportions. Phylogenetic and taxonomic ramifications of these new sternal types are discussed. The Carboniferous fossil scorpion Palaeopisthacanthus schucherti Petrunkevitch is assigned to sternum type 1 …

Are Socioeconomic Status, School Environment, Body Mass Index, And Blood Pressure Related In An Ethnically Diverse Sample Of Adolescents? A Multilevel Approach, Erin N. Etzel Dec 2015

Are Socioeconomic Status, School Environment, Body Mass Index, And Blood Pressure Related In An Ethnically Diverse Sample Of Adolescents? A Multilevel Approach, Erin N. Etzel

Open Access Dissertations

This study investigated how individual-level health behaviors as well as school-level socioeconomic status (SES) and school climate impact adolescent health outcomes. Most of the research supporting an association between adolescent health and social contextual factors has been conducted at the neighborhood-level. However, schools are also influential contexts in adolescents’ lives and their consideration in studies of adolescent health outcomes is warranted. The present research expands upon the existing literature in the area of school contextual effects on health, as it addresses these issues in an ethnically diverse sample of 84,165 adolescents using multilevel techniques to properly account for the nested …


Identification Of Sling Systems In High Economy And Low Economy Runners, Nicole Kristen Rendos Dec 2015

Identification Of Sling Systems In High Economy And Low Economy Runners, Nicole Kristen Rendos

Open Access Dissertations

Background and Purpose: Human locomotion requires characteristic muscle activation timing patterns that work in a defined fashion along a kinetic chain. Sling systems are chains of muscles and innervating fascia that facilitate sequential muscle activation patterns during movement. The purpose of this study was to examine four sling systems across a running gait cycle and to determine how they might differ between runners with high and low running economy. Participants: Twenty-five recreational runners (11M, 14F, height = 1.73 ± .07 m, mass = 70.3 ± 11.7 kg, age = 28.6 ± 5.1 years) completed this study. Methods: Recreational runners completed …


“The Open Suny Metaliteracy Badging System: Envisioning Connections With E-Portfolios.”, Kelsey L. O'Brien, Trudi E. Jacobson Dec 2015

“The Open Suny Metaliteracy Badging System: Envisioning Connections With E-Portfolios.”, Kelsey L. O'Brien, Trudi E. Jacobson

University Libraries Faculty Scholarship

In a webinar presented for the Open Badges in Higher Education Working Group, librarians Trudi Jacobson and Kelsey O'Brien discuss the development of the Metaliteracy Badging System, a multi-media interactive tool used in conjunction with instructional sessions to teach information literacy and metaliteracy competencies. The presenters discuss their use of the system with disciplinary faculty and envision the potential for incorporating e-portfolios to showcase student achievements. *The audio file of this presentation is available here: https://archive.org/details/BAHigherEdWG8December2015. Please note that there are other presenters later in the webinar so you will need to secure their permission to upload the file to …
